Fundraising Campaign to Support "KulturLeben Berlin | Schlüssel zur Kultur e. V."

Since its founding in 2010, the nonprofit organization KulturLeben Berlin has provided nearly 30,000 people in our city with access to culture—regardless of their financial means.

Berlin, April 2, 2026

Kultur Büro Elisabeth is a long-standing partner of KulturLeben Berlin, supporting the association’s work—and thus cultural and social participation—through free tickets.

KulturLeben Berlin is now facing an existential crisis and fighting for its survival. There is a financial shortfall of 100,000 euros for 2026 because a major funding source has been lost—and the outlook for the next two to three years looks even bleaker, exacerbated by inflation and the general economic crisis.

The work of KulturLeben Berlin consists of 

  • providing cultural venues to Berliners who cannot afford cultural tickets
  • collaborating with various cultural event organizers
  • projects such as the inclusive cultural calendar and the Utopia workshop
  • coordinating 180 volunteers (including Utopia members).
